![]() ![]() It is a real shame because there was potential for them to really differentiate themselves in the pantheon of video game villains. Not nearly enough time is spent with the sisters to develop them any farther than caricatures. Unfortunately, Mickey and Lou rarely come off as anything more than flat villains misbehaving for the sake of providing conflict. Not to be confused with the country music super group, The Highwaymen are an organized army of psychotic bandits led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou. Namely, you will be going up against The Highwaymen. Of course, this being a Far Cry game, a lot of time will be spent collecting upgrading materials to make sure you can stand toe-to-toe with whatever is thrown your way. When you aren’t cruising around with Horatio the giant boar, maybe you will have octogenarian Nana laying down cover fire for you. ![]() Each mercenary for hire brings their own flavor to your play style, each more memorable than the last. If you don’t have any friends, don’t fret because New Dawn brings back the popular “Guns for Hire” system. In fact, the whole game can be played through with a friend. Taking place outside of the main map, expeditions are disconnected levels meant to test your mettle in either solo play or Co-op. If you are like me and still itching for infiltration, Ubisoft has got you covered by introducing expeditions. New Dawn brings a new aspect to the outposts by letting you replay them with escalating difficulty to gain more resources for upgrading gear. Nothing can compare to the thrill of ghosting an enemy compound with nothing more than your trusty bow and wits about you. The outposts on the other hand, keep me coming back for more and more. However, it was a clear missed opportunity for more immersive environmental storytelling outside of conveniently placed audio logs and written notes beating you over the head with subtext. The treasure hunts provide a nice change of pace letting you solve some environmental puzzles for loot. Outposts that need to be cleared and treasures that need to be hunted. What gamers can expect is a vibrant open-world teeming with warring factions, natural predators and a litany of activities to partake in. Far Cry New Dawn does not set out to reinvent the wheel, not that anyone expected it to. The Far Cry series went in a drastic new direction with Far Cry 3 and the series has been iterating on that formula ever since. ![]() The land may have changed, but the rapid-fire, improvisational action and memorable characters you would expect from a Far Cry game have not. That very same map from Far Cry 5 has become scarred, revealing new areas and making others inaccessible. The player steps back into this vibrant world 17 years after the devastating nuclear exchange, predicted by Seed so long ago. Much more time has passed for the survivors of the “Collapse”. Just less than a year after gamers witnessed the bombs falling on Joseph Seed’s survivalist family in Far Cry 5, Ubisoft Montreal have invited us back into their vision of a quaint fictional region in Montana. The dust and nuclear fallout had seemingly just begun to settle over the wilderness of Hope County.
